I don’t speak english fluently, so be kind, I do my best :)
Hope you will love this way to use a small yardage of handspun art yarn … if you see any correction tell me !

Circular needle 12
12.0 mm (US #17) 60cm (24”) circular needle
(second circular needle necessary for kitchener stitch)

Bulky handspun

Provisionnal cast on 23 sts
(my favorite technique http://bellaknitting.typepad.com/bella_knitting/2007/10/p... ).

Place marker and join. Knit in the round using magic loop
R1 : Knit wrapping yarn twice around needle. Pull all wraps through stitch.
R2 : Ktbl letting wrap fall off of needle

Repeat these 2 rows to desired length(my cowl is xxxx cm) ending with R1

Kitchener stitch the last row together with the provisional cast on stitches.
Weave in all ends.
